Paragraph1:

Paragrph2:

　　In 1858 an area of poor housing, factories and farm buildings was torn down and Central Park was created, reaching from 59th Street  to 110th Street.

Paragraph3:

　　In 1892 the age of mass arrivals began, during which 15 million new people passed through Ellis Island into the USA over a period of 62 years.Today Ellis Island is a museum, showing the roots of America’s new citizens, who came from all the corners of the earth.

Paragraph4:

Paragrah5:

　　New York never sleeps. The underground railway runs 24 hours a day, and there are all-night cinemas,bars and restaurants. Some people think that the weather is unpleasant,the city ugly and dirty, the competition fierce and the streets unsafe.It is a city in a hurrry, but a very exciting place to be.

B.Language points:

1.It is a city in a hurrry, but a very exciting place to be

现在分词和过去分词在意义上不同。一般说来，现在分词表示主动的意义，过去分词表示被动的意义。

试比较：

　　1)an exciting game:一场激动人心的球赛（球赛使人激动）

　　excited spectators  激动的观众。（观众被激动）

　　2)a moving film:一个动人的影片（影片使人感动）

　　a moved audience.一常被感动了的观众。（观众被感动）

2.the competition fierce and the streets unsafe.

　　1) violent and angry: fierce dog,winds,attacks

　　have a fierce look.

　　2)intense: fierce concentration

　　3)unpleasantly or uncontrolled strong: fierce heat.

　　His plan met with fierce opposition.

3. In 1626 the island of Manhattan was bought from local Indians, Native Americans, for a handful of goods worth about $24. Today Native Americans express their anger over this business deal.

A.worth:adj 形容词      be worth:动词

　　英语的一个简单句中必须要有一个动词，be worth做动词时不能漏掉be. 而worth做形容词修饰名词的用法，老师们要提起注意，也许会成为高考的考点。

　　I paid only $4000 for this used car but it’s worth a lot more.

　　B.deal: n.名词agreement,esp in business. 协议，交易。

　　They both wanted to use the car, so they did a deal.(=reach a compromise)

　　It’s a deal.(=I agree to your terms.我同意你的条件)

StepIV.Writing a composition:

　　The fierce wars between the new settlers and the local Indians broke out.Settlers made agreements with Native Americans chiefs but always broke them afterwards.At last, they came to a deal: The Native Americans were forced onto the poor land that the settlers did not want.

Passage 2:

　　To our surprise,the island of Manhattan was bought from local Indians for a handful of goods worth about $24. Even today Native Americans express their anger over this business deal.In 1858 an area of poor housing was torn down and Central Park was created.
